NVIDIA has unveiled several advancements in AI technology for gaming at Gamescom, the world’s largest gaming conference:
DLSS 3.5 Introduces Ray Reconstruction
DLSS 3.5 is an upgrade to NVIDIA’s AI neural rendering technology. This version introduces Ray Reconstruction, enhancing ray-traced image quality for GeForce RTX GPUs. It enhances lighting effects for a more immersive gaming experience. Denoising is used in ray-traced computer graphics to fill in missing pixels to more efficiently composite a final image. DLSS 3.5 is trained on 5x more training data than DLSS 3, so it can recognize different ray-traced effects and make smarter decisions about when to use temporal and spatial data.DLSS 3.5 also includes Super Resolution, Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing, and Frame Generation.
NVIDIA Reflex Comes to More Games
NVIDIA Reflex is expanding to more games including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, PAYDAY 3, Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Reflex reduces system latency for quicker player actions and a competitive edge. Over 50 million players use NVIDIA Reflex monthly, with its availability in numerous popular titles.
Half-Life 2 RTX, An RTX Remix Community Project
Half-Life 2 RTX is an in-development community remaster. It is being developed by four of Half-Life 2‘s best mod teams featuring ray tracing, DLSS 3, Reflex, and RTX IO.
AI-Powered NPCs Get More Emotion With NeMo SteerLM
AI-powered NPCs are getting more emotional with NVIDIA Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) introducing NeMo SteerLM, a training technique that customizes the personality of NPCs for more realistic in-game action. ACE is a custom AI model foundry that aims to bring intelligence to NPCs through AI-powered natural language interactions.
